Tohatsu Outboards

Are they worth considering?

I am impressed with the local dealer, but uncertain about their product.

What's the good, bad and ugly?

Made by Nissan. My buddy has one and he has no conplaints. Always runs good.
I haven't seen anything bigger than a 25hp, or there abouts.

My neighbor had a 50 or 70 hp (?) Nissan; same as Tohatsu; used and abused it for several years and ran like a top.

I know that a couple of years ago, a buddy was looking at them and they offered up to 140 hp. Dealer claimed they've been around for more than 40 years in the outboard mfg.
Sorry, don't know much more than that.

I've heard a few good things from the few people I know that have them. Pretty reliable motors. But small and simpler. Their biggest models are still carbed - which may be good for some people. But they would need a fantastic price difference to get me interested...
